Hey..... Mark here. Been lurkin around upstairs in the WW section mostly but thought I'd get my feet wet here in the turning section and introduce myself.
I don't by ANY means consider myself a "turner" but have been known to play on my little lathe from time to time between furniture pieces for relaxation.
Here are the only pieces to come off the lathe last year. The first one is a small piece of Cherry Burl saved from some builders taking over the wooded area behind our property. It's about 6" in dia and 4.5" tall.
The next two are Walnut from a tree that the electric company was shredding. I got there just in time to salvage a couple sections. These are my first attempts at adding some carving details. Again, they're not going to any shows or anything, but I do enjoy spinning up the lathe from time to time.
